House Frustrations...
ARGH! Buying a new (to us) house has been very frustrating! A year or so ago, we had it all figured out - we'd wait for Woodbury (a new neighborhood in Irvine) to be built and we'd buy our dream house. But, Woodbury is way overpriced and the lot sizes are TINY - not at all what we want. So, we've decided to look at houses that are 3-6 years old - they have all the rounded corners and other details we like in new houses and some of them have yards (for Southern California - still small by other standards). We've been negotiating with this one couple and I could just strangle them. I wish they'd just figure out what they want. At this point, it does not look like it'll work out, but they've had no other offers, so who knows - perhaps a month or so from now they'll start to consider moving out before their new house is ready or something and we can offer less money than we offered this time, since it's been on the market so long. *grin*

At least we now know when we're getting married. I have to work on getting my save the date e-cards out. At least we're having a really small wedding. That will make life a lot easier (it seems). It made finding a place that could hold the wedding and reception on a Saturday a bit difficult, but now that we've found the place everything else should be easier - only the maid of honor and the flower girls to deal with for dresses, etc.

If only I can make it through this week of negotiating junk. Tomorrow, interest rates will go up again, so our offer will be dropped or decreased at that point if the couple hasn't gotten their act together by tonight.

Hope everything is going well with all of you!
